The protesters have decided to end the occupation of the airport as of 10am Wednesday. It will take a few days to get the airport systems up and running again before commercial flights can resume. They hope that on Friday that will happen. So it looks like I can fly to Phuket on 11 Dec....unless there is a change.
The anti-government forces claimed victory after the countries High Court ruled that the the government was illegal because of voter fraud in the Dec 2007 election and dissolved 3 political parties and banned their leaders from politics for 5 years. So they said their goal was achieved and they could leave the airport. Of course they will start a new Party and the non-banned members will join it and try to form a new government. Politics is a complex charade here.
